"No midgets were harmed in the making of this film."

I am bound by law to say that.

This would be Ben (Oldtoe) playing a Stealth Bongo and wondering how all that lint got on this shirt.

And here is Ben's Evil Twin, Ben, playing my newest blue Bongo HS.

Larry (mobay45) would never be this happy again.

I believe that's Larry's Evil Twin, Larry, playing regular Larry's Bongo.

Yes, we had mostly Ernie Balls, but not all.

Here, I have fallen fast asleep while playing salsa on Paul's Medallion Gold fretless.

Ray Duke plays Andy's (smallequestrian) Sterling while Andy plays what I think is his own Bongo. I lost track.

I was pretty sure this was an alien artifact, but someone later told me it's a Gibson.
I didn't even know Gibson made basses anymore.

This bass was very popular and made me once again consider fretless, at least until this morning when I wasn't drunk anymore.

Where did they all come from?

bassfest19.jpg

Ben brought his Wal over, so Ray played it for a while to make him feel better.

Larry and Paul discussing feminine hygiene products.

For those of you who remember Pickin' and Grinnin', here you have Poppin' and Wankin'.

There was one more in the closet, but I was too distracted to get it out.

Surveying the bassscape.

Many but not all of the attendees.

Apparently, my head tastes "like chicken".

John, up from Austin via New Orleans, also in love with the MG Bongo.

Hey, nice hat, Paul!

There were a few more and the other guys took some, too...in the studio, that sort of thing, I think.

Man Jack, you must still be drunk.

Smallequestrian=Paul
Soulfinger=Andy
Desert Gold Sterling=Andy
Q.E.D.
Desert Gold Sterling=Soulfinger
:D

As long as my new Bongo comes to me and not Andy, you can call me anything you want.
 
Sleepy.

I missed my afternoon coffee, too, so I better go get a coke if I'm going to make it through the Pats game!

You might be blinded by the flame bass, but there is a Rolls Burgundy fiver behind it. The one I have on order couldn't make it for the evening.

The flames are quite distracting... part of the shine on the Rolls pg was mistaken for a s coil... my mistake :o
 
We had a fine time, Bill. Denham Springs isn't that far. Next time, if there ever is a next time, you have to try to make it.
